Summer vacation was approaching, and Zhang Zi called to inquire about her daughter's arrangements.
After Ayumi Hamasaki came to Beijing, the mother and daughter did not communicate frequently. Due to Zhang Zi's innocent personality, she did not feel as concerned and sad as a mother about her daughter leaving home.
For Hamasaki, who is in a state of confusion, her mother's phone call is like a piece of driftwood lost in the water. However, if she returns to Fukuoka and her mother at this time, this girl's dream will end in this way.
Disillusioned, she might lose the courage to come to Tokyo again.
That night, Hamasaki was so excited that he confessed to Akina Nakamori. And confessing that he liked Akina Nakamori was like admitting his feelings for Shinichi Iwahashi.
After the incident, she went about her daily routine and was no longer as sharp as before. Because of this, when Akina Nakamori suddenly appeared in front of her with her long hair cut off, Hamasaki felt caught off guard.
Long hair is regarded as a symbol of femininity. However, Akina Nakamori cut off her long hair, but she exuded a mature temperament like a red rose.
Hamasaki suddenly saw the new image of Nakamori Akina, and when he was unprepared, his hand was pricked by a rose thorn.
If Nakamori Akina is not a caregiver, then she is a complete woman. All the girlish worries in the past cannot withstand the storm caused by a real woman appearing in front of her.
Previously, Iwahashi Shinichi was a gentle wall, but now, Nakamori Akina is like a strong wind.
Ayumi Hamasaki was fascinated by the feminine charm displayed by Akina Nakamori. At the same time, his heart was shaking in the strong wind, and he was confused. It was as if he truly understood what a "woman" was for the first time since he was born, and what he yearned for was,
What will become.
…
There was a class in the arts classroom today. After school, Hamasaki was on her way out of school when someone suddenly called her name from behind. Her mind was filled with messy thoughts, and she was suddenly accosted. She screamed in surprise, which angered the people around her.
Sideways glance.
The young man approaching her smiled brightly: "What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Among the students at the same school, some people quickly recognized who this boy was. Ayumi Hamasaki did not want to be thought to have anything to do with Johnny's idol in public, but Tomoya Nagase did not think that he should keep a distance from her.
"You always look worried."
There was hidden concern in Nagase Tomoya's cynical tone, "You didn't seem like this when I first met you."
"What were you like when I first met?" Hamasaki asked.
Nagase Tomoya scratched his hair and showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "I don't think I can remember." He smiled to himself, but Hamasaki realized later that Nagase Tomoya was actually making a wisecrack and couldn't help but feel gloomy.
expression.
As soon as the bus stopped, Hamasaki got on the bus, only to see Tomo Nagase following him.
"It happened that we were on the same train..." Nagase Tomoya explained to her. However, he squeezed in front of her just for this explanation, which made it very deliberate to go together.
"Sorry about what happened just now."
Ayumi Hamasaki was indifferent to the boy's apology. Tomo Nagase was also unyielding and asked her questions: "Where are you going next?"
"I'm going to see Iwahashi-san."
Hamasaki Ayumi didn't know how she felt when she said this, and she couldn't give a reason why she lied to him. She saw Nagase Tomoya's unexpected expression, and pursued her provocatively: "You
Do you want to go with me?"
"Why? It seems so rude to see Iwahashi-san suddenly without an appointment." For Nagase Tomoya, Iwahashi Shinichi is not someone he can meet whenever he wants.
"If I tell you the reason, will you agree?"
Nagase Tomoya thought for a while, "It depends on what the reason is..."
"Forget it." Hamasaki suddenly felt bored.
When the bus arrived, Hamasaki said goodbye to him simply: "Goodbye."
Nagase Tomoya followed and got out of the car.
The boy's behavior was unexpected. However, Hamasaki realized subtly that this was expected. After being shocked by the real female charm, the girl learned by herself without a teacher, and naturally understood how to be with a person who was interested in her.
She gets along with a boy she has a crush on, but she herself may not be aware of such subtle changes.
After changing to the subway for two stops, Ayumi Hamasaki went not to GENZO, but to the Arts Classroom.
Nagase Tomoya was confused: "Aren't you going to see Iwahashi-san?"
"I thought about it and decided that it would be impossible not to go to class." Hamasaki changed his mind as he pleased, to the point of being a bit arrogant.
Nagase Tomo was also fooled around by her and couldn't help but be stunned.
Ayumi Hamasaki looked at his troubled face and became happy: "Goodbye, and... thank you for today."
She walked briskly towards the arts classroom. Passing by the office, she could see shadows on the other side of the drawn blinds.
"Ayu-chan~"
The teacher waved to her before saying hello to Hamasaki.
"Miura-sensei."
As soon as Hamasaki stepped forward, the teacher told her: "Iwahashi-san is here today."
The corridor suddenly lit up, and the blinds in the office were drawn up. Hamasaki seemed to hear the sound of the blinds being drawn up - of course, that was actually just an inner illusion.
Shinichi Iwahashi stood on the other side of the glass window.
Ayumi Hamasaki's heart beat faster, remembering the lie she told Tomoya Nagase when school was over. When she ran to the stairs and opened the window, the image of Shinichi Iwahashi pulling up the blinds appeared in her mind. The boy's back was already gone.
far away.
"What's wrong?"
Iwahashi Shinichi's voice sounded behind her.
Ayumi Hamasaki turned around and saw a face with a slightly inquiring expression. She turned her back to the window and stared at Shinichi Iwahashi: "A classmate from school sent me here."
"His name is Nagase Tomoya, do you remember?"
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "It must be Johnny's child."
"Yes... But even so, you have created many newcomers, and probably not everyone will remember it." Hamasaki took a step forward. As soon as he closed the distance between him and Shinichi Iwahashi, he started to walk towards the office.
Ayumi Hamasaki followed him and heard his answer: "At least when it comes to artists, I have a good memory."
"You are a famous producer." Ayumi Hamasaki's tone was unknowingly narrow-minded, as if tentacles were quietly reaching out in the dark.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "Of course."
After that night at the disco, the two of them didn't talk much, let alone laugh. During these days, Hamasaki's heart was spinning a thousand times, and he didn't know how to face it or what to do. But
The strange thing is that when I met Iwahashi Shinichi today, the atmosphere between the two was neither tense nor awkward.
Hamasaki thought to himself that he wanted to lie to Nagase Tomoya, but the fact turned out that she did not tell the lie. Iwahashi Shinichi broke her lie, but he himself knew nothing about it.
"Are you here to see me?" Hamasaki asked.
"The teacher in the arts classroom said that you performed quite well."
"If you want to see me, see me. If you want to ignore me, then ignore me."
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't expect this girl's persistence waiting here. He turned around and gave Hamasaki a helpless look.
